The Grove Workshop

Join us at The Cherry Tree Pub in East Dulwich for a focused 6-week writing course, including a dedicated writing week. Perfect for writers actively working on a project (and have at least 5,000 words written). This course provides guidance, constructive feedback, and the motivation to keep your novel or short story pushing forward.

✔️ Dedicated time in each session to write new scenes for your novels or short stories.
✔️ The opportunity to read your work aloud in every session.
✔️ Writers will email their work to the group before class for feedback, and each piece will be workshopped during the session.
